About the Author :
Catherine A. Sanderson is the Poler Family Professor of Psychology at Amherst College. She received a bachelor's degree in psychology, with a specialization in Health and Development, from Stanford University, and received both master's and doctoral degrees in psychology from Princeton University. Professor Sanderson's research examines how personality and social variables influence health-related behaviors, such as safer sex and disordered eating. Her research also examines the development of persuasive messages and interventions to prevent unhealthy behavior and predictors of relationship satisfaction. This research has received grant funding from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Professor Sanderson has published more than 25 journal articles and book chapters; four college textbooks; high school and middle school health textbooks; and a trade book, The Positive Shift, which examines how mind-set influences happiness, health, and even how long people live. Her latest book, Why We Act: Turning Bystanders into Moral Rebels, examines why good people often stay silent or do nothing in the face of wrongdoing. In 2012, she was named one of the country's top 300 professors by the Princeton Review. Mark Zelman is a Professor of Biology at Aurora University, Aurora, Illinois. He received a bachelor's degree in biology from Rockford College. He received a PhD in microbiology and immunology from Loyola University of Chicago and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago. Dr. Zelman's research focuses on prevention and control of infectious diseases, mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, and community factors affecting public health. He teaches science education courses for high school teachers. He has published articles on microbiology, infectious disease, autoimmune disease, and biotechnology, and he has written two college texts on human diseases and infection control. Dr. Zelman works with the West Africa AIDS Foundation in Ghana and other public health projects in the US and abroad. He is an officer of the Illinois State Academy of Sciences and Editor-in-Chief of the Academy's scientific journal, Transactions. Lindsay Armbruster experiences, on a daily basis, the impact that optimism, self-efficacy, and persistence can have on a class, an individual, and on students' health behaviors. As a result, her teaching focuses on strengths and possibilities and is highly influenced by the theories of skills-based health education and positive psychology. Lindsay is certified as both a K-12 Health Education teacher and K-12 Library Media Specialist in the state of New York. Lindsay has been teaching Health Education since 2004, ranging all grade levels--kindergarten through twelfth grade as well as graduate school--with most of her experience occurring at the middle school level.
